-snip-
Speaking at the Global Chiefs of Mission Conference on Wednesday morning, Pence told the crowd that Thanks to the leadership of this Commander-in-Chief,and the courage and sacrifice of our armed, forces were now actually able to begin to hand off the fight against ISIS in Syria.
As the crowd cheered, Pence declared We are bringing our troops home. The caliphate has crumbled and ISIS has been defeated!
Hours earlier, CNN had aired footage of a suicide attack in Manbij, a U.S.-patrolled city in Syria, an attack which claimed the lives of an as-yet-undetermined number of American troops, and for which ISIS has claimed responsibility.
Pence made no mention of the attack in his speech. Thus far, the only comment from the White House has been a statement from Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, which said that The President has been fully briefed and we will continue to monitor the ongoing situation in Syria. For any specific questions please contact the Department of Defense.

That he knew the facts, and instead delivered propaganda instead of information renders him unfit to finish his charge.
Remove the traitors, Washington!
That is your charge!

(6,974 posts)said that Isis was DEFEATED, and that ALL was perfect over in Syria, so that meant that we could bring our troops HOME 🤔
The big, fat, Adderall-addicted, insane, racist, treasonous, 7,000 plus lies told and climbing HOG is so in love with and yet frightened to DEATH of his puppet-master Vlad, that he doesn't even care about anything but pleasing him or ELSE I'll let out all of OUR secret dealings and talk about your money-laundering with me and WORSE, which is why Fatso contacts him secretly and on the regular. Fattie, fattie two by four doesn't CARE about our troops, this country, it's citizens, federal employees, or about anything negatively affecting this country, let alone about Syria turning into a powder keg, because his puppet master/black-mailing murdering buddy Vlad told him to leave Syria, or ELSE. The USA is about to leave NATO after 70 years, and most folks in this country don't realize what this will mean, or have any clues how badly this country and world will be destabilized and knocked off it's global foundation. This is the USSA, and not the USA any longer thanks to tReasonous tRump and his buddy Vlad.
Today's bombing that killed 4 of our soldiers, in what was seen as a "safe" place which had been patrolled by our military in Syria was a direct message sent to putin's amoral, treasonous fat ass HOG of a puppet.
